Package: vim Version: 1:7.0-017+3 The configuration is now in /etc/vimrc and /usr/share/vim/vim70/debian.vim But changing something in any of these files does not have any effect.
Putting something into ~/.vimrc is recognized, but it starts from something so minimal, that the program cannot be used productively anymore. $ vim bla.c :set --- Options --- ttyfast ttymouse=xterm That's it. Many features that worked earlier thus seem deactivated, making vim virtually unusable. Among them: - Backspace does not delete properly anymore in insert mode, instead spaces are written over the text which disappear first after leaving insert mode, leaving the rest of the line after the cursor unmoved while deleting. - Keeping : history. History is zero per config. It is empty when calling vim even there were commands before. I completely removed vim and the old configs and installed it newly without effect. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
